One of the nation's fastest-growing cities, Dallas is a hotbed for new construction as companies relocate to the area motivated in part by its historically lower costs of doing business and, for employees, cost of living.
A host of projects catering to this uptick in demand are in the works. Earlier this month, Houston-based developer Hines announced plans for a 135-acre "live-work-play" mixed-use complex that will bring 3.5 million square feet of office, residential and retail space to one Dallas suburb.
In April, developers broke ground on the 262-acre, $1 billion Bayside mixed-use project in Rowlett, TX, that will see an 8-acre lagoon and a 1,000 boat-marina added along Lake Ray Hubbard. The complex will also include 1.5 million square feet of commercial space, a 500-room resort and more than 2,500 condos, apartments, townhomes and single-family residences.
Along Frisco, TX's "$5 billion mile" is the $1.5 billion Frisco Station mixed-use development currently under construction. The 242-acre project will eventually feature 2,400 residential units, a 40-acre medical center, 650 hotel rooms and 300,000 square feet of dining, retail and entertainment space.
The rapid development in Dallas–Fort Worth has analysts worried the area could lose its status as a historically affordable market. As demand picks up and inventory lags, big builders are digging in. Taylor Morrison, for example, has said it intends to grow its presence there, announcing plans in October 2016 for two master-planned communities in the city's northern suburbs.
Texas' housing boom drove the state to a 38% share of the MPC market in 2016 — the most of any state, and a 28-percentage-point increase in its share of all U.S. MPCs since the 1990s.

Frisco Fast Facts & Stats
For most home buyers, a mortgage is a reality. When it comes to purchasing with-in a buyer's set budget, understanding your interest rate is a critical factor in affordability!
Mortgage Rates have just dropped! Now is the time to get into that new home. Call me today!
Here is a question that we do get from time to time.... from both Sellers & Buyers:
A Mortgage PreQualification or PreApproval - pretty much same thing... right?
..... So we asked Derek Altoonian of the Marcel Deitrich Team with WR Starkey for their explanation....
So… what’s the difference between a Pre-Approval versus a Pre-Qualification and why does it matter? In simply terms, the main difference between a pre-approval and a pre-qualification: income and asset documentation.
A pre-approval means that the loan officer has pulled credit, and collected enough information to fill out a mortgage application to form the details of the loan to purchase a new home. Additionally, a buyer has furnished paystubs, tax returns, and asset statements that show their viability to be approved for a mortgage. We have even gone so far as to underwrite the borrower without a potential address to make sure that there are no “surprises” when the borrower’s “dream home” is found.
A pre-qualification is when a loan officer pulls credit to see if the buyer has a qualifying credit score, and gathers enough information through a verbal interview with the buyer to fill out a mortgage application to see how much buying power your client has. There is often zero documentation with a pre-qualification.
We believe the Pre-Approval is, obviously, much more meaningful to sellers in today's marketplace. The more thorough analysis of the buyer’s income, assets and credit ensures the greatest chance that the pre-approved buyer will fund on the purchase.
